Idles share pro-immigration anthem ‘Danny Nedelko’

Idles have shared the first single, ‘Danny Nedelko’, from their forthcoming LP, ‘Joy as an Act of Resistance’ – and you can listen to it on the Fantasy Premier League playlist.

The track by the Bristol 5-piece is a pro-immigration anthem which takes its name from one of the band’s close friends (and Ukrainian immigrant).

Produced by Space and mixed by AdamGreenspan & NickLaunay (ArcadeFire, YeahYeahYeahs, KateBush), ‘Joy as an Act of Resistance’ (released August 31 via PartisanRecords) takes aim at everything from toxic masculinity, nationalism, immigration, and class inequality – all while maintaining a visceral, infectious positivity.

Idles recently unleashed blistering 2-part album opener, ‘Colossus‘, along with a music video that features cameos from Stone Cold Steve Austin, FredAstaire, EvelKnievel, JesusChrist + more.

Having performed at SXSW, Primavera, Latitude, Reading and Leeds, Idles will embark on their first ever global tour, including their biggest London headliner yet at O2 Forum Kentish Town on October 18. Their last headliner in the capital, at Heaven, sold-out nearly six months in advance.

Idles self-released their debut album – ‘Brutalism‘ – last year. That record carried the band to #1 on Spotify’s Viral Chart, saw them open for FooFighters at the O2, and landed them on Loud & Quiet, DIY, CRACK, NME, Dork and Radio6’s album of the year lists.
